5 Signs Your Shower Water Might Be Damaging Your Skin & Hair
Share
Most people don’t connect their irritated skin or frizzy hair to the water they shower in but the signs are often right in front of you.
Here are real-life clues that your shower water might be the hidden cause of your skin or hair frustrations:
1. Your Skin Feels Tight Right After Showering
If your skin feels dry or tight before you’ve even touched moisturiser, that’s usually chlorine stripping your natural oils.
2. Your Hair Gets Greasy Faster (or Feels Straw-Like)
Hard water minerals can coat the hair shaft, making it feel dry…
BUT they can also cause buildup that makes hair oily sooner.
If you feel like you “can’t win,” your water might be the reason.
3. Your Shampoo Doesn’t Lather Well
Minerals in hard water react with soap and shampoo, stopping them from foaming. This means you use more product, but never feel truly clean.
4. Your Skin Keeps Breaking Out Around the Hairline or Back
This type of breakout is commonly caused by water impurities, not just products. Chlorine can irritate the skin, especially around the face, shoulders and upper back.
5. Your Towels Feel Stiff Even After Washing
If your towels come out crunchy, your water is leaving mineral residue.
If it’s doing that to cloth… imagine what it does to your skin and hair.
If these feel a little too familiar, it might be time to take control of your shower water. Explore our Mineral Filter and start your clean-water era.
